Metaplanet is raising another $21M through bonds to buy more Bitcoin
Fresh off its most recent Bitcoin purchase, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is raising more funds through another bond issue to expand its growing crypto treasury.
Through a $21.25 million issue of “0% Ordinary Bonds,” the firm said in a May 9 statement that the “funds raised will be allocated to the purchase of Bitcoin.”
Zero-coupon bonds don’t offer any interest to the holder. Most of the time, they are issued at a steep discount from their normal value, and when they mature, the holder receives the full value.
Following a board of directors meeting, the firm said it will issue a 14th Stock Acquisition Rights to EVO Fund, an investment management firm in the Cayman Islands, with a redemption date of Nov. 7.

At current prices, Metaplanet could buy 206 Bitcoin (BTC) if it raises the full $21.25 million, according to CoinGecko. The firm first flagged plans to buy Bitcoin last April.
BitcoinTreasuries.NET shows Metaplanet is Asia’s largest public corporate holder of Bitcoin and ranks 11th globally at the moment.
Metaplanet’s stock (3350T) has shot up over 1,600% in the last year and is trading for 511 Japanese yen ($3.50), according to Google Finance.
